   It will return pictures, to Earth via Cassini.  The   
   descent through Titan's atmosphere will last about   
   2-2.5 hours, all the while the probe will be sampling   
   the atmosphere's composition, taking pictures of the   
   ground and the horizon, and gathering other data.   
   It has the capability to survive a landing on the   
   ground or in a lake/sea/ocean of hydrocarbons so we   
   might get a few pictures from the surface.
